Has anyone tried this or something similar?

Funny thing, I'm dealing with SpamAssasin right now (just installed it 
-- I need to check the docs) and also using privoxy under RH8. I've 
heard good things about bogofilter too; it's a Bayesian filter by Eric 
Raymond, there's a few RPM's floating around for it.

I'll let you know what I find out since the spamming here is so massive; 
2 weeks >= 1000 messages.... of which maybe only a dozen were actually 
desired. And no, I *refuse* to change my addy... because I shouldn't 
have to.
